THE LAND BOOM.
Prices Way up Among the
Stars--The Dangers to be
Avoided.

Avoided.
The wonde ful land boom of the
past year has excited very general
attention.
1t has not been confined to any
one locality, for, as Chauncey NJ.
Depew said, after a visit to the west
''At nearly every one of the trade
centres we visited, we found extrava-
CANT and untenable views OF pros
pective real estate values
OF course the vast army OF men
engaged in one way or another In
these enterprises, were 10th to be-
lieve their views either extravagant
or untenable. Both they and Depew
are right to a certain extent.
Land values have rapidly aud per-
manently increased in this country IN
the last fifty years. THIS is especial
ly noticeable in the jumping" west,
along the lines of new railroads.
Thousands of new cities have
sprung up with a growth perfectly
astonishing, and great fortunes have
been made in real estate.
Land values must continue to IN
crease generally, because the avail
able area of land in the country Is
now so small as to render inevitable
its entire absorption in few years.
One hundred years from now, at
the present rate of increase, our popu-
lation will be 400 to the square mile
twice as many asin the largest Euro
pean nations.
To be safe speculator, it is neces'
sarv to study cause and effect, as the
proprietors of Warmers safe cure did

cause of disease Every drop OF

ANTICS OF A PET COON.
How 1t Had Mess Of Honey, and How 1t Rode
Horseback to Quick Music.

How it Had Mess Of Honey, and How it Rode
Horseback to Quick Music.
"But speaking OF coon," said John
Pimpson, OF savannah, "did you ever
have q pet coon? l had a pet coon,
and he could get into more trouble
than all the pets that ever lived on
fathers farm put together. Hewould
steal thread, thimbles, socks, combs
and brushes. Anything that was lost
would be looked for in the coon's nest.
He had bed up on the plate OF the
house, an old-fashioned story-and-a-
half Lighthouse. Everything he got
hold of he carried there, and in every
trouble he got into he made for that
place. Once carried this coon with
me to quilting at old man Bagley's.
Old man Bagley had heap
OF bees, and you know coon loves
honey better then anything. The
quilting was proceeding nicely; all the
women folks sitting around plying
their needle, when in dashed the coon:
literally covered with bees. He rush
ed under the quilt, strewing the mad
insects. tell you the quilting moved,
and chairs flew and the dresses flap
ped, and such dancing was never seen
before. Pet coons were not worth
much in that market afterward. "This
same coon got me into trouble again.
He would follow me all around the
place. One Sunday Frank and my
self went down in the pasture, just be.
hind the horse lot, and the coon came
along to. In the pasture we decided
to take a ride npon q gentle horse
that was grazing there. We
got the horse by the name
and led him to a Stump, and 1
got upon his back and Frank got up
behind me. Then the econ bounced
up on the stump and wanted to get
up too, so reached down and took
him in my lap. No sooner had the
horse started off than the coon, fear
full of failing, stuck all the claws he
had into the horses withers, and the
fun began. The horse went running
and kicking. Frank soon hit the
ground and left myself and the coon
holding on for dear life. / stuck on
till we reached thelot fence. and there,
as the horse mounted high and went
over, l came down across the rails
and left the coon master of the situa-
ton. Father heard the racket and
soon the whole plantation was trying
to catch the horse to relieve it of it's
rider. That was the last of that coon.
He got killed and l got whipped, and
I've never wanted a pet coon since"
